Controversy has erupted in Belgium after it emerged that some Belgian mosques were refusing to join public prayers for non-Muslim victims of the recent terror attacks in the capital Brussels.

A report by the United Arab Emirates TV station Al-Ghad Al-Arabi explained that the Council of Belgian Imams rejected the prayer initiative, saying that praying for the souls of non-Muslims runs counter to Islamic law (Sharia).

During the report, which aired March 26 and was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Sheikh Abdelhadi Sewif, Chief Imam of the Great Mosque of Brussels, suggested Muslims might be able to still take part in shows of sympathy for non-Muslim victims, but only if they avoided using the word “prayer” and instead used terms such as “solidarity with the families of the victims.” …

They are correctly interpreting the Islamic law. Non-Muslims are bound for hell, per Koranic law. So, praying them for anything else is just hypocritical. The last thing any true Muslim wants to be is labeled a hypocrite.

The difference between radical Islam and moderate Islam are the moderates aren’t willing to actually strap the bombs on themselves, but they think it’s a good idea.

Beat me to it.

Moderate Muslims approve of what their fighters do, moderates just aren’t in their “military”, yet.

That makes religious sense. Christians who pray for the souls of the departed know that it is useless to pry for those in Hell as there is no redemption for the damned. For a Moslem those who die unconverted are in Hell.

If there was any hope for Brussels and Europe in general these imams would already have been deported or imprisoned and their mosques razed to the ground.

Which is to say there is no hope for Brussels or Europe.

The EU governs by crisis. When the elites don’t get what they want, they intensify the crises until they get the power they have been seeking. There was a reason why the government in Brussels was set up without separation of powers.

Well, to be fair, who wants prayers from Satan worshippers?

I think they will be judged by the second book in Revelation, by their deeds.

Those bombers, I don't know what God will do with them. I can't bring myself to pray for them unless it's a person who was forced to do it which there have been some, a ten-year-old in Africa the other day. In such a case, it would be the fault of the person(s) who forced them to do it.

and the problem is ???

the moslems have no power or answers to their so called “prayers”

Better that Christians pray for these people in the Name of Jesus ...that Name that is above all names...

I gather these are the surviving victims who need healing from their terrible wounds inflicted by the moslem terrorists...

The victims need a pipeline to the LORD Jesus Christ the Healer...

moslems don’t have one...

By His stripes you were healed Isaiah 53:5

He sent His Word and healed the victims of the Islamic terrorists in Brussels and the hearts of the grieving families of those who were murdered Psalm 103:20

Be completed healed all you innocent victims of the Islamic terror attacks in Brussels and be soothed by the Balm of Gilead all grieving hearts of the families of the loved ones who were murdered

In the Lovely Name of Jesus

Probably just as well, who needs the “prayers” of a Satan worshipper?
